Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

It's dangerous to be an honest woman.Amber St. Antoine flees Paris-and her role in spying on Bonaparte. The deputy chief of police, a venal man, craves Amber as his mistress. He'll do anything to seduce her, even imprisoning her friends and charging them with crimes.Amber, rescued from neglectful parents as a child by her influential aunt, grew up in the shadow of the Terror and went to prison with her aunt and Josephine Beauharnais. Despising the tyranny of a few corrupt men, Amber learned to value freedom.As a result, when she was approached to serve in an espionage network, she accepted-and excelled. Now in fear of Vaillancourt, she flees Paris, her home-her friends.It's torture for the man who loves her.Godfrey duClare, Lord Ramsey, comes to Paris as part of the British diplomatic mission now that peace exists between his county and France. His first assignment by his superior Kane, Lord Ashley, is to find the elusive agent Amber St. Antoine and keep her safe.Following gossip and logic, Ram finds the stunningly beautiful woman deep in the French countryside. He declares she needs his protection, especially since she refuses to leave France. Defiant, Amber agrees to his company, even if they must pretend they are married.The two travel France, discovering in each other, each day, a delight that leads to a passion neither can deny.But when they also find new evidence of Bonaparte's warlike plans, they must change their own. Suddenly, Vaillancourt surprises them with a ploy neither Amber nor Ram considered.But Amber decides to outwit him.Ramsey is furious-and wild to save her from herself. What's a man to do if he seems foiled at every turn? Is he a fool to believe that love conquers all?
